We thoroughly enjoyed our late November stay in the poolside end (king) room at the Papaya Paradise. This is a legal Bed and Breakfast, unlike most on the island. As other guests have noted, Jeanette and Bob are a very welcoming older couple, their resident kitty a little shy. They are long time residents, know Oahu well, and Jeanette is...

Aloha, We enjoyed our first visitors from Brazil. So glad you enjoyed your staying with us and seeing our beautiful island.

Jeannette and Bob (Curly) made us feel completely at home; the room was great (comfy bed; air conditioning; large bathroom with shower; french doors with view of pool). We had the use of a refrigerator and kitchen area, and the cereal/toast/bagels for breakfast were a nice touch. We would certainly stay here again!

We stayed at Papaya In Paradise for five nights in March of 2016. The purpose of our trip was to spend some time with my grandchildren while on their spring break in beautiful Kailua.

Aloha, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful beach community of Kailua and Papaya Paradise. We enjoyed your visit and hope you will visit us again. Mahalo, Jeanette & Curly

Very nice in all respects, and Jeannette the owner is ever so nice. EXCEPT that the protocol for breakfasting is "wash your own dishes and put them away." So you never know how thoroughly the last guest washed his dishes. Also, Bob, nice as he is, has early stage dementia and shuffles around the premises at all hours -- you...

Aloha, I'm sorry you did not understand our original statement that breakfast was self-catered (which included "washing, drying your dishes and putting them away"). I wish you had mentioned your concerns when you were here so we could have made other arrangements for you. Bob is an early to bed and early to rise person, so does wander around early...

We stayed at Papaya Paradise for 5 days in January. It is such a beautiful place, so calm and yet to so close to everything. It is luxurious to have a pool in this lush garden setting. Our hosts were warm, welcoming and Friendly. Wish we could have stayed there longer! We will be back for sure.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and you liked our lovely beach community. We thank you for taking the time to write a comment about our Papaya Paradise. We liked you suggestions on places to eat, which I will past on to other guests. We hope you will visit us again. Aloha, Jeanette

I spent 4 days with my wife at Papaya Paradise. Bob and Jeanette who own the place are lovely. It is a simple setup but perfect for a peaceful vacation. I strongly recommend the place and I would definitively come back.
